HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide (5900-1624, April 2011)

Describes the required level of support for certificate-based authentication. This property is
only used when enableHttpsConnection is set to true.
• idleConnectionTimeout
If set to a positive integer, this value specifies a minimum timeout value for idle client
connections. If set to zero, idle client connections do not time out. A client connection is
considered idle when it is not in the process of sending a request and the CIM Server is not
processing a request from that connection.
• enableAuditLog
Set to true or false. The default value is set to false as of A.02.09 version of HP WBEM Services.
The value true means additional information such as AuditType(Authentication) ,
AuditSubType(Local Authentication, Basic Authentication, and so on), AuditEvent(startup,
shutdown, and so on) , log level (WARNING, INFORMATION, and so on), user (root, guest,
and so on) and system IP address is logged in the syslog.log file.
• socketWriteTimeout
Specifies the number of seconds that the CIM Server waits for a client connection to be ready
and receive data. If the CIM Server is unable to write to a connection within this time, then
the connection is closed.
Configuring Insight Remote Support (IRS) for WBEM Services
HP WBEM Services version A.02.09.08 and later supports Insight Remote Support (IRS) configuration
on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 OS.
To configure root privileges for IRS users on an HP-UX system, perform the following steps:
1. Install HP WBEM Services version A.02.09.08 or later on HP-UX 11i v3 and 11i v2 OS.
2. Edit the IRS configuration file located at: /var/opt/wbem/hp_irs_users.conf on an
HP-UX system and add the required user name. By default, the hp_irs user name is added
in the IRS configuration file.
NOTE: Only system administrators can modify or create user names in the IRS configuration
file. Make sure that the user name exists on the HP-UX system before configuring in the IRS
configuration file.
3. Stop WBEM Services.

4. Restart WBEM Services.

NOTE: Users configured in the IRS configuration file can perform WBEM operations with
root privileges. However, these users can still continue to have system privileges as defined
in the HP-UX /etc/passwd file.
Maintaining the repository
HP WBEM Services stores definitions of the data on managed objects and their providers in its
repository. The location of these repository files vary depending on the version of HP WBEM
Services. The following information is valid for versions prior to HP WBEM Services A.02.09.
The repository files located in /var/opt/wbem/repository/ for HP-UX are created as a
by-product of the HP WBEM Services installation. Do not delete or move these files.
